I suspect that you wouldn't like the C++ STL, or the Ada translations of 
it, since they tend to use "aliased" a lot (in the Ada case of course; in 
C++ everything is potentially aliased) and I think you couldn't write an 
STL in Ada without it. I agree completely with your admonition against its 
(over)use, but I'm awfully glad its there.
